Longpigs, from Sheffield, were one of the more memorable bands who rose to fame on the fringe of Britpop in the 1990s, comprising Crispin Hunt (vocals), Richard Hawley (guitar), Simon Stafford (bass) and former Cabaret Voltaire member Dee Boyle (drums). The band name refers to the litteral translation of the word for 'human' or 'person' from cannibal tribal language.
The group initially signed with Elektra Records in 1993. However, just before they released their first single, two tragedies struck the band.

EmA Silence tells me no lies EmA So stick around and the truth you'll find EmA There's a fire in your heart Em Burns so bright A Burns sometimes unkind
EmF# I keep the fire from burning me by GA Closing my eyes I was born to pollute EmF#GA The smoking, the cocaine, the new stain, and the old flame BE To read between the lines DbmE That crowd around your eyes.
I Need some BDbm want some ? DbmBDbm ? Dbm Blood in your eyes
(THE CHORDS ARE THE SAME AS BEFORE...... !) Coca-cola your heart Look around You should get out of town I could eat every word You could kill Till I'm fat as hell
EmF# You should have changed the world by now but GA I'm too busy milking the holy cow EmF#GA To campaign and the camp pain the loose change and the dancing BE To read between the lines AbmE That crowd around your eyes B The flabby burgers mine E The free toy Abm The day and the night B I want some Dbm need some ? DbmBDbm ? Dbm Blood in your eyes
(MIDDLE EIGHT:)
F#Dbm I said I saw it once F#Dbm Sadness such a full meal F#Dbm Joy such a salad was F#EB Cupid the stupid cunt
(SOLO:)
E AND A ALL THE WAY THROUGH
(USES THE SAME CHORD PATTERNS AS BEFORE) The cocaine and the smoking the new stain and the old flame the lair of fat and the whole game for you The campaign and the camp pain the dancing and the v-sign the smell of fat chicks wrapped in denim and kicks for you To read between the lines That crowd around your eyes The flabby burgers mine The free toy The day and the night I want some Need some Love in your eyes.
